I was shook by this whole process, but absolutely dumbfounded when she said she was 6
Exactly ☹️
She was a child actor, most of those parents try to start them young
This is exactly what I was thinking! SIX!! Whitening your teeth and dying your hair. The only possible message this sends a very tiny, young mind, is that you’re not good enough! Crazy!
I've been seeing clips about Jeanette and her book more recently and her mom was abusive af. It's sad some parents force such responsibility on kids...... However, I can't help but think how my 7 year old niece actually ASKS to do those things because my sister is extremely materialistic and that's all she cares about now 😮💨 I see posts of her and like 5 of her friends doing these things regularly like they are grown. It's crazy
@@euthania5783 tbh this was not even the most shocking thing...
My jaw slammed to the floor when she said 6, I was thinking MAYBE at most 10 or 11 but 6?!
Read the book it's gets so much worse
Honestly, I was literally thinking tweens to mid teens (horrible nonetheless) BUT A 6YR OLD?! Literally WTF
@@spleens7831 I think what made me think 10 or 11 was the white strips😭she explained it like she was in a pagent, you know the entire ordeal hair rollers, sometimes white strip, makeup, training, blah blah but it was just acting
Girl me too like WHAT🤨
Imagine putting whitening strips on a 6 yearold.. white strips remove stains.. 6 yearold teeth dont have stains requiring strips tf
Weird how I'm now seeing all of your videos. I had the same relationship with my mom. She just died and I feel nothing... Nothing at all. And I can't even feel guilty about it.
My mother passed away just last year too and I was fortunate enough to have all of her love. My heart really goes out to those kids who never got that or especially the complete opposite. You either make “them or break them” when they are a kid. I haven’t read her book but I’ve seen enough clips about what she went through and it’s so sad! I’m glad she overcame this and is still working on herself.
My adoptive ex guardian is an psychopath that enjoys torturing kids and men so yeah I feel you I told them to take me out of the will and I can't wait till they die and I'm free
There is no rule that you have to. Feeling relief when becoming free from your abuser is normal.
Same, my moms still alive but she’s gonna live the rest of her life in loneliness.
not the worst thing she did but it reminds me of what Jennette was talking about, I was forced to use pro-active despite having no acne and it gave me chemical burns on my face, she also thought it was a good idea to give me tattoo eyeliner. Thank god the tattoo eyeliner eventually faded and is no longer noticeable but wtf?
Edit; some extra context this also happened when I was below the age of 12 so def not normal appropriate behavior.
@@Z0Z33KY wow I’m sorry! And the permanent eyeliner is painful especially for a teen who doesn’t even want it! We struggle enough with accepting ourself and our looks especially when it comes to societies expectations and judgements, we don’t need it at home where it should be the one safe place to be comfortable with ourselves. I’m sorry
The way she talks about it is how most adults who have healed from their childhood trauma talks about their experiences…with a sort of understanding smile on their face and just pure acceptance That “yea that happened and it shouldn’t have but I’m in a safe place now”
I think for Jennette too she's finally able to just talk about it without any backlash from her mom so it's a sense of relief.
So true! That look/smile that says yeah this is insane but this is how it went down
What a strange thing to say and assume.
@@gabbym333 whys that? i dont think they said anything wrong, just observing what jenette mccurdy is doing
This is an old post, but I just wanted to say that just because a person is smiling and casually talking about their trauma doesn't necessarily mean they've come to terms with it or found some sort of inner peace.
For some people, they sometimes emotionally detach from themselves or dissociate. And if this is something they've talked a lot about, especially with a professional, it's easier to repeat their story. Some people also have a tendency to smile while talking about their bad experiences as a sort of coping method, defense mechanism, to minimize their own experiences, to avoid pity, or to appease others. It's complicated.
So can we talk about the beauty pageants for kids as well and how it's just as bad
Edit: omg thankyou for all the likes!! And for the comments I'm happy some of you had good experience as a pageant kid!
But I'm speaking for the kids that got exploited and abused as Jennette McCurdy, even Drew Barrymore. It's sad the lengths parents put their children threw for money, fame, & acceptance.
When it leaves the youth sacred with trauma, guilt and shame. Like do better "Mom" & "Dad".
If not even worse
Absolutely!! I mean they have toddlers in flippers with fake tans and probably really itchy glittery dresses. And then get mad when they don’t preform well
I thought the same thing. “So basically Toddlers in Tiaras then!?”
And they give them soda and energy drinks to be hyped for their performance . It's crazy !
Beauty pageants for kids are so gross. It looks so unnatural.
To put a 3-6 year old in a full face of makeup, glittery one pieces, the bottoms are.. just underwear... Then have them dancing on stage... Dances that late teens and young women do.. Wtf is that.
I'm so sorry for what you went thru with your mother you deserved so much better. I'm glad you are so strong and are willing to expose what your mother did to explain your feelings toward her.
No… this is sick and demonic.
@@Patrick3183an abuse survivor taking about what they survived isn't sick. have a heart.
@@chlyri She just wants to be a victim no matter what. If she wasn't raised that way, she would be wishing she was rich and famous. She's part of that generation that can't be happy or grateful about anything and just needs everyone to know all the terrible things that happened to them. How terrible her mom gave her whitening strips! Any 6 year old would think that's cool.
@@riotpb10 what her mother put her through from a young age is horrific. Read or listen to her book “I’m Glad My Mom Died”
It's a miracle this lovely young woman turned out so well adjusted. Obviously she worked on herself and probably had a therapist. She could have ended up like Britney Spears, poor thing. Thank God she had the strength to get away. I just want to give her the biggest hug!! It is so hard for kids in acting, never mind having a toxic parent added to the mix. 💜
Britney Spears didn't get the chance to fix herself. Her "father" took over and controlled every aspect of her life for almost two decades. She's finally free! I say "father" because that person is supposed to love you unconditionally, and what that man did definitely was in no way, shape or form, love.
Britney Spears has been free 1 year. Jennette has been free almost a decade. We all have to start giving Britney grace to fix herself. If you read Jeannette’s book you would know she was doing way worse than Britney when she was first coping…. It just was more hidden.
Jeanette didn't get away. Her mother died. Britney's father basically enslaved her.
thing is britney had no such freedom until recently 😢 hopefully in a few years she will have a similar comeback
u should read her book :-)
I thought she was talking about her experience as a teen but my mouth dropped when she said she was 6- protect our kids at all cost 😢
Knowing that JoJo Siwa’s mom started bleaching Jojo’s hair at 4, I’ll be interested to see what she says in the future
Omg!!
She was already blonde lol wtf?
Didn't she cut her hair because she was balding or something? Idk maybe that was someone else but I swear that was JoJo
@@mikehunt7360 Not blonde enough.
I was a blonde child, and most people who are born blonde turn dirty brown as they age. Apparently brown hair is unacceptable to the point she would rather use chemicals and burn her babies scalp.
@@mikehunt7360 I know but still. She was only 4 years old and her mum would consistently bleach her hair, it's still horrific considering how much she'd do it and how young Jojo was
I used to literally pray that my dad would die. I relate to these emotions. There's a reason her book is a success and why so many people relate to her story. Some people just aren't supposed to be Parents yet they do it anyways.
SAME! I use to pray mine died too but now I pray for him to be at peace. Which ever came first was fine with me. I never understood why people who didn't want kids ended up having them.
Sending so much love & light y’all’s way. You didn’t deserve that & I wish you the best on your healing journey ❤❤❤
Honey karma is real and it will d!e eventually and all that awaits it will be hell, it will not be in a peaceful place to see its loved ones and it won't be a happy entity for the rest of existence. It will get what it deserves and you will find peace 🌸🌸 I hope you find peace and don't loose your good because of evil 🙂🌼
@@shereemcintyre7974 and there's society who pushes you to have kids, even if you explicitly say you don't like them, don't want them and you won't be a good mother. "You'll change your mind" but "your biological clock is ticking so hurry up" (I translated the second phrase, idk if there's a different saying in English)
@@McJusti that is so true!
I will never stop appreciating that she shared her experience. I didn’t do acting but I did cheer and dance and some modeling. My mom did the same thing and while I’m still in touch with my mom. It feels more like a person who’s trying to be my friend in the worst way possible. I had to do a lot of similar stuff, while I know she was abused as a child and was so called just trying to be better. I ended up having a very similar experience with my mom growing up. I’m thankful I have someone with a bigger voice speaking up and I one day hope to be able to do the same. She’s an amazing person and I’m glad to see she’s doing better as an adult.
My mom was also concerned about physical appearance. I was an overweight child. She’d cut a plastic bag to make it fit like a shirt and made me run in circles in a very small room so I could sweat In it. She’d pinch me underneath the table if I’d eat at someone’s house. The list goes on. I’m 45 now and I’m so self conscious about myself cause she constantly told me I should be embarrassed of myself and that no one would ever love me.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. No one should ever go through this, especially as a child. I hope you could/can get help to proccess everything.❤️
@@musich1024 Thank you! ❤️
You should get adopted!! You will get a loving family and you will never be unloveable! It's not possible. That is awful abuse and she is unloveable, she is evil and you deserved 1000× better than that! What a poor excuse for a mother!! Honey you eat what you want and you will be beautiful no matter what! How do you think Muslim women find love with their hair, face and body is covered? They find love because of their personality not their looks! Many don't even know what their wife will look like until the wedding day or after and they love them no matter what!!(if you've been told different you have been told about the bad guys that take over places and they aren't real muslims)
I know what it's like. Some people have insane control issues and they make everything about them. How she treated you had nothing to do with you, and I hope your life gets to be about you and your joy now. What was the plastic bag thing even supposed to accomplish?
I am sorry. You are a gift from God.
Reading the book…. My jaw dropped a number of times. Her mom really was a piece of work. And that’s putting it EXTREMELY nicely!
The one email she sent, the "you're an evil s*ut PS buy us a fridge, ours broke" just floored me. That is just the epitome of their relationship. Destroying her soul and squeezing whatever she could out of her. She saw her daughter as a walking wallet and punching bag.
To everyone saying this sounds nice - you don’t get it.
It was WEEKLY and FORCED. Plus, overusing teeth whitening products can severely and permanently damage your teeth! And who knows what the highlight did to her hair!
Anyone who's saying this sounds nice are probably parents like this or someone who's been through it and cannot see how wrong it is.
@@Royalty_girlie Yup. I was blind to the idea that my parents' viewpoints on corporal punishment, academics, and self discipline were actively traumatizing me, until I was finally allowed to leave the house, interact with real people in the world, and that I have severe reactions to really small things because I get flashbacks to childhood memories that leave me trembling and crying.
To those of you saying THIS. Obviously never had anything truly bad happen to them 🤣 byeee
@@Royalty_girlie or people that have been through actual abuse and not teeth whitening and highlights 😫🤧 THE HORROR
I’m cuddling with my 5 y/o right now and couldn’t fathom. I’m so happy for her that she turned out so well and sorry what she went through…
My daughter is six years old and she gets uncomfortable in jeans. Comfort is so important for children. This is awful.
Her mum was trying so hard to live through her...it's so disturbing the abuse she inflicted on her child.
I can’t believe how much this girl says and I go wait my mom did that!!?? The books amazing btw everyone buy it! I am so impressed that she’s survived and become so well adjusted so young. I’m 38, I just got sober and Began very intense therapy program like a bit over a year ago! This woman is so inspirational!!!! ❤
Good luck to you.
Very much good luck to you on your road to recovery 💕
you know what I’m really glad Jeanette is back because things have not been the same without her and I’m glad she has a platform to talk about what happened to her
I feel like we all had an image of a teenager during this but then she says she was 6 and it collectively made our jaws drop.
I love the fact that she can fully speak her truth now! I hope that speaking more and more about her reality will help her find some what if peace in life!
It's the truth not her truth
@@ggk623 I was about to comment this lol thank you!! Gets annoying "speak your truth"😑🤦♀️ lying is many ppls truth
@@candyluna2929 I think OP asked probably people who use this term mean just speaking from the heart, gut, honestly and truly.
Is a miracle that she is alive and doing well.
A lot more better than she was before.
Six is crazy to feel not enough. But I can feel her. U start feeling like ur mom thinks ur not enough or beautiful
It’s amazing how great of an actress she is.. I grew up watching iCarly and I had no clue🥺
Same…
I just want to give you a hug and a cup of tea 🥺
God bless Jennette McCurdy. I am so grateful that she is able to share her experiences with us. I hope she is healing from it all.
Keep in mind that her most famous character was obsessed with food, always eating etc while her mom was starving and calorie counting her, must've been hell being asked to pretend to eat all those foods, get their sauces on your face while being very hungry and not allowed to actually eat them
I always wondered if after the scenes if she ran off and purged because she was doing it privately at the time. And if so how did no one ever notice
@@shrews12001Pretty sure people did know unfortunately. I heard that Dan Schneider purposely made Sam a foodie to basically taunt Jeannette because she wasn't allowed to eat much. It's incredibly messed up...
Parents who put their kids in acting or pageants and go to the extremes of dressing them up like mini barbie dolls, bleaching their teeth and hair, tanning, etc need to be under a large scope. Half or a majority of those parents are not fit to be parents.
I mean it's creepy to me too but it's also cultural. from what I've seen of the show toddlers and tiaras not all the parents bleach their teeth, normally they just have them wear fake teeth while performing. And they use fake tanner, they don't bring them to tanning beds. Plus the pageants on toddlers and tiaras aren't the only kind of pageants, there are other pageants where the fake hair, sparkly dresses etc arent allowed and aren't viewed favorably. Personally I don't see any reason to have your small child being judged on their appearance in any way but I'm not from a culture where that's normal so I don't feel like I fully get it.
@@tikusblue since toddlers and tiaras is an american show I'm gonna assume you're not american :). Dressing up kids and judging them on their appearance is not normal in the US, at least not in the crowd I run in. It makes a lot of people uncomfortable. Stuff like dance and ballet is a little bit different, its kids being judged on their performance rather than appearance, but I still think it can make kids too self-conscious too early. It's just more accepted here.
Nickelodeon most likely saw all of this happening to a 6 year old and did NOTHING about it.
Not just Nickelodeon.
She was also on SVU as a child and Malcom in the Middle... NO ONE saw it and that's likely because her mom had her scared to death and was also very good at hiding it
I can understand you completely! I went thru something terrible with my mom. Well I still am. Lots of us out here got your back girl! I love my own children just the way they are and I have great relationships with them. I just can't understand a mother who doesn't want that. I live for that!! Now I can't wait to be a grandma!!!
Every new detail I hear from her about her mom is another gut twist 😔 I’m glad she’s dead too girlfriend, you deserve so much better
Dan Schneider needs to join her mum next
I can relate to being relieved to lose a parent. I've not missed my dad once since he's been gone. You probably feel so much more free now. Live out loud and don't regret a minute
Now you see after you hear stuff like this, and read what she went through in her book, her title doesn’t seem so bad after all. It makes ALOT OF SENSE.
I don’t understand how moms can be like this. Mine legitimately thought it was ok for a 15 year old to be on speed to lose weight. I’m so glad I had a high aversion to all drugs, and was super against it, no matter how much I wanted to be skinny.
I totally get it. I’m sure a lot of us have a mom who comments on our appearance and contributes to our insecurities. Their opinion matters to us. My mom starved me and made me throw up after meals. It really contributed to a spiral of depression and anxiety. However I’ve learned now that I am me and my mother can not decide how I look.
Jeannette had an insane mom on iCarly and then had to leave the set to go home to an even more insane mom. I’d prefer the mom that “Sam” had over her real mom😅
Bet she thought that too.
6 YEARS OLD!?!?! She must have worked so hard to become as humble and insightful as she is. I'm so happy for her finally getting to let this all out!
I'm so glad JM is on a healing path. I bought her book, going to read it soon. She suffered so much because of her mother & the industry.
That was a lot but it shook me when she said 6 years old.
Great book. Very well-done.
My daughter is 13 and I just now gave her permission to dye her hair. You poor thing 😢
Oh shut up, she was abused
That's a good age to let dye hair
I dyed my daughter's hair at age 10.
@@Ooxxls that’s fine, even if she were 6 and ASKED for it (maybe having it temporary) it’s fine. It’s the fact the she was forced to get that done that’s wrong
@@irisesberry6188 yes. The white strips was a bit much. Like 6years old? They're not even recommended until like 12 years old.
Abuse never ever leaves you. Some day instead of proclaiming your abusive past it will fade into a banner of gold wrapped around your heart. I hate to say this but who you are is a part of the abuse and you survived it. Like I did. I pray you to heal and grow and have true comfort. Because inside that little girl is still there and needs you!
6 years old!!! Damn. That's the time to play and be carefree, not pursue a career and worry about beauty standards 😢
I feel so much for her. I hope being able to share her story and knowing how many of us can relate to some extent (although her mom's abuse was particularly diabolical) and how many people she is helping.
I can relate to so much of what she is saying. I grew up with my mom bleaching my hair from age 4-5 because she wanted a blonde hair blue eyed daughter. I have dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. My oldest brother was blonde hair blue eyed and she wanted all of her kids to look like him.
I finally got out until I was in a car accident that left me permanently disabled and now unable to leave her again. Listening to her validate the experiences I've had has helped tremendously. I'm so glad she was freed from her shackles and is able to heal.
My mom would do the same to me at that age. I remember her making me keep whitening mouth wash in my mouth for 20 plus minutes and getting burns. Im sorry.
Girl, she just want to say thank you for writing that book and your severe honesty. I hope you have some peace now.
I was thinking, I would have loved doing that with my mom as a teen! Then she said six year old...ugh....that's horrific
first your mother...and then the Nick Monster....You are so very brave and I pray you get justice and Peace.
Just listened to her audio book, very interesting and worth the read/ listen.
I was wondering if I should buy the book
@@mzstacystacks3168 she narrates the Audio book so if you get it you'll also get tonal and inflection tidbits that you won't get in the paper book.
She's a survivor, precious Baby Girl. Narcissism is a Terrible Disease of the Soul. Her mother was an Overt Narcissist who Golden Child her in Public, but Scapegoated her in Private. I truly believe Jeanette McCurdy is a talented Young Woman. I believe she will reclaim her energy and Grow as she heals. Her mother and all of her mother's enablers put her in danger many times to feed off her energy and collect off of her profits. Nothing in God's Kingdom goes unseen, this exposure of Truth is on time and now she is Free! ✊🏾💗
Okay I wasn’t too shocked…until she said she was 6 YEARS OLD?!?!?? I thought this was when she was a teenager omg
I can relate a lot to her. Little mfr is what my mom called me. Told me she hated me repeatedly. I've never reciprocated. I do my best to respect and honor her, but sometimes its really hard. It hurts, and she seems like a strong young woman. Sucks the things her mom said and did to her. Glad she's free of that now.
I had a great mother. I didn't appreciate how much she did for me about which I didn't know at the time. That being said, my mother was beautiful and my older brother was very good looking. My daddy was charming. I was neither. My mother tried. Curly hair was a thing in 1958 and my hair was very straight. A regular permanent wave didn't work on me so I was taking to the beauty parlor for a "heat wave". Not only is this a terrifying experience, but it didn't work on me very well. My hair would frizz for a few weeks and then go right back to straight as a board. Looking back it would have been hilarious if I hadn't been so afraid of the machine.
I am sorry to say this, but this particular story you tell doesn't make your mother sound like a good person...
@@SaruskyM Yes it does. It's a moms job to ensure her child fits into society, especially in that era. Its expected. As Americans we have grown into an "anything goes" society but that isnt common elsewhere in the world. Nobody needed therapy for all the "abuse" attentive mothers gave their kids to meet the common standards of the time. This new generation is full of buzzwords and boundaries and needs safe spaces to self actualize while looking like a dumpster fire out in public.
@@frst78 so what flavor koolaid you drinking?
@@frst78 Well I'm not American so I'm talking from another culture's perspective.
@@frst78 you're sooooo not a parent. I would never change my baby to adapt to standards 💖💕💞
I had a mother like this. W/each video of Jeanettes I see hers+mine have more & more in common. Just the title of her book when I heard about it resonated w/me. My mother was SO infatuated w/herself & SO very vain Vanity is #1 to them. She took at least 2hrs to get ready for work or even being at home- everything had to be a very specific way. I was forced to help her get ready which meant shed wake me up at 4am, from a very young age. IMHO she was a narcissist at the least- bragged about her looks all the time to me & everyone whod listen, esp about her weight bc she was thin. Her expectation of perfection from me was on another level which is common for narcissists. My mother also put me in a few pageants as a teen which I sucked at bc my self esteem was completely eroded & shed always make me leave rehearsals early to do things for her. I went no contact yrs before she died however when she did it def helped my healing journey that I had been working thru for many years. Kudos to her for speaking out & writing this book!
Same bro. My mother would force me to tan. From the age of 6 to 17. Every. Damn. Day. It didnt matter if i let the bed run and stood far away. She would send me back for another 10 minutes if i wasnt dark enough. Don't get me started on the hair bleaching.
I'm sorry you were put through all that. I hope you are or will find the beauty in you just as you
Scratching the back of the neck, closing the eyelids, and looking down can indicate several emotional states or reactions, such as discomfort, anxiety, or contemplation. These behaviors are often associated with stress or nervousness, which can sometimes occur when someone is lying. I find it strange doing thats while repeating the six years old part .
Never give up🙏✌️👍
This stuff is going on everywhere behind closed doors and people aren’t comfortable to speak up yet, other Celebs included. Janet is just the only one who’s found herself ready and strong enough to spread the awareness and So many people are endlessly grateful and find a connection to such similar experiences. Hope more prominent voices can eventually join her in this, this should be the beginning of a movement for a change in parenting.
I understand the laughter when saying those things. You get to a point where you can only laugh at how ridiculous their behaviour was.
I am too old to know who this woman is. Just found her as she promotes her book. I am so impressed by her. Can't wait to read her book. You can tell she's done A LOT of hard work.
my dentist friend would slap her mom if she heard this....
Yeah, doesn't whitening products wreck your enamel?
So amazing what you’ve done..and I have to be honest I’m waaaayy to old for icarly..but my nephews loved it and you were literally the character that made any of that show watchable
I loved watching her on TV, I'm so sorry for the things she went through!!! I hope she didn't send her the money refrigerator
I'm glad that Jeanette is telling her story. A lot of adults are still coping with abuse from childhood. It's okay to cry and be hurt but know that it wasn't your fault!
when she revealed she was 6 thats what did it even more for me, thats so sad :(
Would strongly recommend reading this book or listening to it on audible (she reads it herself and I love the kind of semi-flat way she speaks and then the voices she does for other people, she gets Miranda Cosgrove spot on 😂). You don’t need to have watched her shows to understand Jenette. It’s a horribly fascinating listen/ read.
Yeah holy hell her Miranda Cosgrove impression is astonishing lol
Her mom was crazy as hell
When she said 6 year old, it's then that my heart just sank! As a kid we don't have a measure for what is acceptable and what is not and I am so glad for her to be sharing her story to give people an idea of how toxic parenting looks like. I am extremely blessed to have an Amazing set of parents but have seen some aunts that are highly toxic.
Can we talk about Toddlers in Tiaras and how TOXIC
I dont know but I hope shes okay.... Talking about this over and over again in each and every interview must be exhausting
“A six year old” 😳🥺
I'm glad she's telling here story had no idea she was being used and abused ......... This makes me like her more 💯
sounds like her mom projected her insecurities onto her :/
Praying for you to continue to have strength.
Did we have the same mother? No joke like fr my mom did the same thing with me. On top of keeping up a certain appearance, she really liked to over specialize me and make me wear boys clothes.
No matter how hard we try. Our parents are never satisfied no matter what we do to please them. We're not here to please them. We're not supposed to make them happy. Our success is not thiers.
As a society we rebuke her mother, but applaud Kris Jenner, it’s dumbfounding at least - evil at worst
I think a lot of child actors are pushed like that from their parents and that’s one reason they get roles but some parents are way worse than others. It’s a cut throat business. But I see parents doing this with kids on TikTok to get views too.
Yikes. I have a six year old. I can’t imagine even having the thoughts to do things like this.
As a mother how could she do this to her daughter? My daughter is the most beautiful creature to ever grace this Earth in my mind. Poor Jeanette I hope you find peace beautiful ❤️
This is child abuse 6 though
im so proud of her for talking about this because i feel more empowered too
I read her book the other day and it was really good. I never watched any of her shows, but her story is such a familiar one
This is a lie, white strips weren’t on the market yet at that time.
wrong. whitening strips went on the market in the late 80s.
Her book was amazing! I’m so sorry she had the family she did. Every child deserves a good parent but not every parent deserves a child!
I love the story but I cannot watch q without gomeshi completely innocent guy proven innocent and still can do anything in life
Wtf i was waiting for the punchline and when she said 6 it knocked me out
I guess she’s worked through the trauma of highlights and hair dye.
Seriously, that’s great that she can make her own decisions about her looks.
This did start out as mean-girl-intent and then realized that she claimed that stuff back
I think you are probably someone who should buy her book. It's called I'm Glad My Mom Died. It's so much worse than this. She was forced to become a cash cow while being abused by her mother and brothers.
Her mother abused her.
My mom controlled what I ate and made me exercise/move a lot at a very young age and later got somewhat obsessed with deciding how I should dress and that I should wear makeup (and stop biting my nails, which I did because I was stressed). Fortunately ever since I moved out and went low contact with her she has reflected on her behavior and even apologized for much of it, she has become a much better mom and we have a good relationship now. Even so, it sucks to see she still puts herself through the same process because her controlling behavior came from her own eating disorder and need to control her looks because that was what my grandma taught her. It’s sad to see generations of women obsessed with looks and weight like that.
You definitely never want to meet my dad or my family smfh
Oh jeez, I’m so sorry for you.
@@MillieEyelash14 nah you ain't gotta feel sorry for me ive healed myself and dealt with the side effects from what was done and I still struggle with my past till this day its difficult being born an introvert because both parents did hard drugs and then sexual abuse topped off with a father giving me cocaine at 5 years old but as I got older I dealt with once I turned ten I understood a little more and then 15 I learned more until I knew what was right and wrong
@@MiguelGonzalez-yl5vf Dang wth you’ve had a rough life. Again, I’m so sorry for what happened to you. I’m glad that you’re healing and hopefully get better. I hope your parents end up in prison (if they haven’t already) and that you life a better life.
@@MillieEyelash14 they both passed away before I turned 21 and forgiveness was already given do I wish my life started better of course but nobody's life is perfect a wise man once said in a room full people we can all throw our troubles in the middle of the room and trade you would pray to get your troubles back be well
I really hope you're doing well. By the looks of it you're going to go pretty far in life take care God bless
You are a beautiful person. Feel good. You made it through the hard part of your life. Live for yourself.
Really sad but for how long will we be hearing about it? Surely this is not the only thing that defines who she is.
I totally relate to Jeanette so much because I’ve lived through it my whole 32 years of my life
The funny thing is that now she looks the most beautiful she's ever been! Living and walking in her truth ❤
My beautiful granddaughter is 6 and I love her so much. I just can't even imagine 😔 💔
Omg first time seeing her in a while she's looking great! I hope she's doing well!
I have always enjoyed Ms. McCurdy, and now I know why. Her anger based characters were based on trama. I hope that the truth telling gives her some peace. She deserves to be happy and healthy. Best wishes ma'am
That is absurd. It's amazing how well she came out from that dark shadow. She's so well spoken.
Why would you do things like this to a baby because a 6 years old is a baby to me all the chemicals this is so crazy to so sorry you had to go through all that craziness sweetie ❤🥰
Children should not be the breadwinner
